If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

Since 2016 no solution proposed for the Idea or issue for which fix is requested. Also let us know if there is any visual available which is similar to treemap with word wrap functionality.

The need for the word wrap formatting feature in a bar chart is extremely highly. A solution is very much appreciated.

Agreed, absolutely crucial. Would be good to combine that with the possibility to independently set label width.

'+1 badly needed, product is hobbled without the ability to display the full text of each item
